Abstract
Nayantara Sahgal is acclaimed as the only political novelist, at least among women writers. As A. V. Krishna Rao observes, “Nayantara Sahgal is perhaps one of our best socio-political novelists today.”1 She confines her novels to the affluent society involved in politics. Her main contribution thematically has been her deep involvement and concern with politics. However, her absorbing concern with politics is not divorced from humanistic concern.
